Our dear friend, Bill Tynan, put one of the earliest (perhaps the first?) FM
stereo stations on the air as an experimental station.  It?s call sign?  W3XO.

(The station originally licensed as W3XO later was licensed in regular FM
broadcasting service as WGMS [Washington?s Good Music Station].)

When the experimental station call sign block containing W3XO was
transferred from experimental stations and became assignable to amateur
stations, Bill applied for and was granted W3XO for his amateur station.

Bill: you were one of a kind and we miss you dearly.  Thanks for being a
teacher, colleague, and friend for so many years.

Matthes-Enderlein-Gymnasium Zw?nitz



The school named "Matthes-Enderlein -Gymnasium was founded in 1975 (in
socialist GDR times) as a general

school named "Friedrich Engels", then it became a secondary school from 1992
onwards.

In 2002/2003 the school was refurbished and in 2008 the rooms for natural
sciences and information science

were modernized.



At the moment the school has 670 students and 60 teachers. Pupils are taught
in two different profiles,

the advanced scientific and the advanced linguistic (teaching a third
foreign language) profiles.

English is the first foreign language and students can then choose Latin,
French or Russian.

In grade 8 the scientific profile teaches a lot of different fields: optics,
health, about the earth?s

atmosphere or water. In grade 9 it comes to learning about light, colors,
communication and issues about

the earth. In grade 10 pupils are taught about measurements, different
operations and regulations, bionics

and astronomy.

As the school is a secondary school with focus on sciences and languages it
is possible to integrate all

classes of those grades into activities concerning contacts to the ISS:

Students will broaden their horizons and acquire more knowledge during the
preparations and the actual

contact with the ISS:

Our schools offers a variety of full-day-provision in different fields of
sciences, such as a course for

achieving a HAM radio license, construction of electronic circuits in the
area of telecommunication and

networks, meteorology, aerology, climatology, sciences about earth and
space, radio astronomy and electronics,

sensor technology, microcontrollers and robotics, esp. opening and operating
 an amateur radio club for

short wave and VHF/UHF and basics of the manufacturing of electronic
assemblies.





Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium Kaiserslautern



Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium is a place for teaching and learning for 1100
students and 90 teachers.



Our school has strong connections at regional, state and even national
level. Not only is the school a member of the national MINT-EC-School
Network, but also of the TU-Net-MINT of the TU Kaiserslautern. Furthermore,
it is part of the MINT-Region-Westpfalz initiative.



As a result, our school has established cooperation with partners such as
the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, the Fraunhofer
Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE, the German Research
Center for Artificial Intelligence, the TU Kaiserslautern, the renowned
software corporation Insiders Technologies and the IT2School project of the
Robert Bosch GmbH.



The MINT-profile is a synthesis of our MINT-AG-concept, our
MINT-competition-program, computer science education and our IT-concept,
which teaches students how to use media based on information technology
sensibly and responsibly.  All these concepts are integrated into all grades
and are available to all students. Some of them, for example the IT-concept,
are mandatory.



In 2015, Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium was awarded the 'Arbeitgeberpreis f?r
Bildung' for its concept of digital education.



The MINT-profile is enriched by many of the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium's
projects, such as the 'Project Cloud Walk', revolving around a weather
balloon, our marine biology field trips to Elba and the 'Tab-Class', a
project in which every student of a class is equipped with a tablet to work
with in lessons as well as at home.



In each grade, one of the classes receives bilingual education (English -
German) in various subjects. On top of this, there is a wide range of
foreign languages which students can learn and put to use during exchange
projects.



Together with our large selection of performing arts clubs, including
theater and concerts involving music from both classical and modern genres,
the sports division of our school has a longstanding tradition. Many of our
students participate in competitions preparing them for the initiative
'Jugend trainiert f?r Olympia' ('Youth training for Olympics').



Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium is an officially certified Media Scout and Media
Competence school of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

About ARISS:

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and  National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). 
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues.  With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums.  Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio.  For more informa
 tion, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.



Thank you & 73,

For the past 36 hours or so I have been unable to download any of the
telemetry from the 3 Fox satellites,before then over the past 7 or 8 days I
downloaded over 1000 frames.
I am still receiving downloading data from other satellites and decoding, I
fact downloaded and decoded about 750,000 bytes of data from the 2 CAS
satellites this morning so I assume my system
Is working ok.
Has anyone else noticed a problem  with AO85, 91,92 ?

Hi Ross,

My system has received a total of 135 frames in the last 24 hours.

QSO activity has been quiet lately perhaps that explains the low DUV
received.

Hello Ross,

I had a few good passes today and I had no problem decoding DUV frames.
With my limited setup I decoded almost a hundred frames. Don't worry,
you're still way ahead of me on the leader board :-)
